Today, on March 29, the deputy head of the Parliamentary Legal Department Giga Bokeria made a statement in regard to spending funds from “the law enforcement agencies development fund”. He declared that activities of the fund are transparent and open to public and any interested person may acquire information on expenditure spending.
During a year GYLA applied to all legal mechanizm to acquire information on activities and expenditures of “Law enforcement agencies development fund”, however in vain.
It is noteworthy, that during court hearings respondents (the Ministry of Interior of Georgia and General Prosecutor’s Office) claimed, that the fund was a legal entity of private law and its activity was closed to public. We encountered the similar situation concerning Georgian army development fund.
GYLA urges the deputy head of the parliamentary legal department (Giga Bokeria) to check transparency of the funds, see if his statements coincide with the reality and submit to the public unbiased information.
